Hello, Dolly! Libretto

Now hold on, Dolly....

It's too late, Horace. I've failed. And when a woman fails, there's nothing else she can say....
Wait!
But....
Hey!
GOODBYE, GOODBYE, GOODBYE,
GOODBYE, GOODBYE, GOODBYE,
DON'T TRY TO STOP ME HORACE PLEASE.

WAVE YOUR LITTLE HAND AND WHISPER
“SO LONG, DEARIE,”
YOU AIN'T GONNA SEE ME ANYMORE.
BUT WHEN YOU DISCOVER THAT YOUR LIFE IS DREARY,
DON'T YOU COME A KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR.
FOR I'LL BE ALL DOLLED UP
AND SINGIN' THAT SONG
THAT SAYS “YOU DOG, I TOLD YOU SO.”
SO, WAVE YOUR LITTLE HAND AND WHISPER
"SO LONG, DEARIE,”
DEARIE, SHOULD HAVE SAID “SO LONG”
SO LONG AGO.
BECAUSE YOU'VE TREATED ME SO ROTTEN AND ROUGH,
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF FEELIN' LOW.
SO WAVE YOUR LITTLE HAND AND WHISPER
“SO LONG, DEARIE,”
DEARIE WOULD HAVE SAID “SO LONG”
SO LONG AGO.
(SHE takes his hat and cane and moves down into One. The Red Drop comes down in back of
HER)
FOR I CAN HEAR THAT CHOO CHOO CALLIN' ME ON
TO A FANCY NEW ADDRESS.
YES, I CAN HEAR THAT CHOO CHOO CALLIN' ME ON,
ON BOARD THAT “HAPPINESS EXPRESS.”
